best way to start the day
about a week ago a friend of mine gave me a guest pass to the spa of sorts. i had an appointment yesterday morning and it was probably the best thing i've done for myself in a while. the place is called contempo spa and all of their services are self serve which is perfect if strangers touching you isn't a good way for you to relax. i started off in their personal steam room which is actually this pod shaped machine that you climb into. once you're laying inside the pod it begins to pump steam and minerals into itself while the bed itself gives you a nice vibrating massage. my head wasn't in the pod and I was able to change things like the massage settings, music, and the air conditioning on my face. after half an hour of steaming i went to the aquassage room. this meant climbing onto another bed and laying back while streams of water jetted underneath the bed at whatever pressure setting I picked. i walked in with some serious knots in my back and walked out feeling like jello. it kicked ass. after my massage I opted to try a mystic tan. i like the idea of being tan but tanning beds and sunworship aren't on my agenda so spending 90 seconds in another pod to look like i spent a week out on the beach was perfect. when i finished they talked to me a bit about the membership prices and gave me a dozen guest passes of my own. i'm in love and intend to use a couple of those passes myself. it was such an awesome experience that i'm seriously considering taking them up on a month membership.
